Its protocol calls for Annex B counties to reduce their average greenhouse gas emissions over 2008-2012 to at least five percent below 1990 levels. It adopted a " Plan of Action. " Since no details were given at these COPs, we have to design the mechanisms. 3 3. Which Trading Rule? • Bilateral Trading Is it inefficient due to mismatching? Does the revelation of contracted prices improve its eff...

This paper deals with the market structure at the opening of the trading day and its influence on subsequent trading. We compare a single continuous double auction and two complement markets with different call auction designs as opening mechanisms in a unified experimental framework. The call auctions differ with respect to their levels of transparency. We find that a call auction not only imp...

This paper contains the description of experiments done so far in the combinatorial auction scenario. We describe the computee side and the society side. In this context we introduce also external objects providing services to the computees themselves, and in particular implementing a complex optimization algorithm. Experimental results are given for a traditional combinatorial auction and for ...

This paper examines economic resource allocation through a number of auction types for a grid of ewaste computers. It examines the time to complete tasks and the energy usage of completing the tasks on a grid. A model of a simulated grid is developed and used to evaluate the resource allocation mechanisms. The model is an agent-based simulation where by user agents submit tasks to node agents t...

We consider a double-auction mechanism, which was recently proposed in the context of rate allocation mobile data-offloading markets; our mechanism is also applicable to problem bandwidth network slicing markets. Network operators (users) derive benefit from offloading their traffic third party WiFi or femtocell networks (link-suppliers). Link-suppliers experience costs for additional capacity ...
